JAPANESE LYRICS / ROMAJI / ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

ねえ時間を教えて？ 

まだ数字を知らない 

ねえ私を教えて？ 

まだ名前を持たない 

Nee jikan wo oshiete?

Mada suuji wo shiranai

Nee watashi wo oshiete?

Mada namae wo motanai

Hey, please tell me the time?

I still don’t know my numbers

Hey, please tell me about me?

I still don’t possess a name

とける 愛の 

底へ沈む 小さな手のひら 

Tokeru ai no

Soko e shizumu chiisana te no hira

It melts away

And sinks to the bottom of love

The palm of a small hand

潮風をまとい 心を洗い流した 

気になっても 

明け方4時と 君はやがて 

闇の向こう側 

Shiokaze wo matoi kokoro wo arainagashita

Ki ni nattemo

Akegata yoji to kimi wa yagate

Yami no mukou gawa

Clad in the sea breeze, I washed my heart away

Even if I weigh it on my mind

Before long, the 4 o’clock of dawn and you 

Will have gone to the side across from darkness and

消えた 愛の狭間で 

消えた 僕を許して 

Kieta ai no hazama de

Kiete boku wo yurushite

You disappeared, in the threshold of love

You disappeared, please forgive me

愛は歪んだままじゃ 

愛を保てやしない 

今日は待ちぼうけでもいいや 

今日が無くなる予感がしたから

Ai wa yuganda mama ja

Ai wo tamoteyashinai

Kyou wa machibouke demo ii ya

Kyou ga naku naru yokan ga shita kara

While our love is still distorted

We will be unable to preserve this love

It’s fine even if I’m waiting in vain today

Because I had a premonition that today would be no more

そんな未来も 産声も波間で 

揺れ動いていた 

明け方4時の 空は未だ 

殻を破れずに 

Sonna mirai mo ubugoe mo namima de

Yure ugoiteita

Akegata yoji no sora wa imada

Kara wo yaburezu ni 

That sort of future, along with a newborn’s cries

Were swaying between the waves

The sky at 4 o’clock of dawn

While it was still unable to break out of its shell

消えた 愛の狭間で 

消えた 僕を許して 

Kieta ai no hazama de

Kieta boku wo yurushite

It disappeared, in the threshold of love

It disappeared, please forgive me

空欄のままで 回答を委ね 

さよならなんて 言わせないで 

浮かぶ 空虚と ゆりかごの中 

Kuuran no mama de kaitou wo yudane

Sayonara nante iwasenai de

Ukabu kuukyo to yurikago no naka

Abandoning myself to an answer box left blank

Don’t let me say something like goodbye

In a floating emptiness and the inside of a cradle

故意に閉ざされるのなら 

愛を知ってしまう前に 

何度生まれ変わる夜を 

望んでいたのだろう 

Koi ni tozasareru no nara

Ai wo shitte shimau mae ni

Nando umarekawaru yoru wo

Nozondeita no darou

If I could have shut myself away on purpose

I probably would have remained 

Endlessly wishing for a night to be reborn

Before knowing of love

消えた 愛の狭間で 

消えた 僕を許して

Kieta ai no hazama de

Kieta boku wo yurushite

You disappeared, in the threshold of love

You disappeared, please forgive me

JAPANESE LYRICS / ROMAJI / ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

桜の咲く春の　ため息になれたら
泣いてるキミの　鈴の音を　そっと　揺らしてあげられる？
Sakura no saku haru no tameiki ni naretara
Naiteru kimi no suzu no ne wo sotto yurashite agerareru?
If I grow accustomed to sighing in the spring when cherry blossoms bloom
Would I be able to gently ring the bell-like sound of your crying voice?

どうしたってさ　人目を惹く　黒い髪と華奢な肩は
指の間を　するりと抜ける
どうやら見えないらしい
Doushitatte sa hitome wo hiku kuroi kami to kyasha na kata wa
Yubi no aida wo sururi to nukeru
Douyara mienairashii
No matter what you do, your black hair and slender shoulders captivate people’s gaze
I slip through your fingers
But it seems that you can’t see it

わかっている　それでも
その声を聞いて　ボクは救われた
キミで満たされていく
Wakatteru soredemo
Sono koe wo kiite boku wa sukuwareta
Kimi de mitasareteiku
I know the truth, but still
By listening to that voice, I was saved
And I continue to be filled with you

桜花　キミに恋したようだ
催花雨に袖を引かれて
今日も　傍にいていいですか
Ouka kimi ni koishita you da
Saikau ni sode wo hikarete
Kyou mo soba ni ite ii desu ka
Cherry blossoms, it seems that I have fallen for you
Tugging at your sleeve in the early spring rain
Can I stay by your side today as well?

千の夜に閉ざされても
理に　叶わなくても
キミに届け　月夜ニ袖シグレ
Sen no yoru ni tozasaretemo
Kotowari ni kanawanakutemo
Kimi ni todoke tsukuyo ni sode shigure
Even if a thousand nights imprison me
Even if logic won’t let this love come true
I’ll convey them to you
The tears wiped on my sleeve under the moonlit night

この時計を左向きに　回せたってそれくらいさ
となりの世界じゃ　どれもガラクタで
価値のないものらしい
Kono tokei wo hidarimuki ni mawasetatte sore kurai sa
Tonari no sekai ja dore mo garakuta de
Kachi no nai monorashii
Even if I turn this clock counterclockwise, the present remains unchanged
But the worlds around us appear to be nothing but rubbish
With no value to them at all

いつしか　誰かと
愛を紡いだって　泣きそうな夜は
傘を差してあげよう
Itsushika dareka to
Ai wo tsumuidatte nakisou na yoru wa
Kasa wo sashite ageyou
Even if, unbeknownst to me
You spin the threads of love with someone
On the nights where you are about to cry
Let me raise an umbrella for you

桜花　ボクは恋に落ちた
水面の月を求めた
されど　手遊ぶはガラスの色
Ouka boku wa koi ni ochita
Suimen no tsuki wo motometa
Saredo tesusabu wa glass no iro
Cherry blossoms, I have fallen in love
I sought the moon on the water’s surface
But even so, that mirage is the color of glass

千の夜が瞬く間に
闇夜を縫って　君を隠す
行き場のない　この手は空を切る
Sen no yoru ga matataku ma ni
Yamiyo wo nutte kimi wo kakusu
Yukiba no nai kono te wa kuu wo kiru
A thousand nights stitch a cloth of darkness,
And hide you away in the blink of an eye
My hand cuts through the air, with nowhere else to go.

ねえ　見えなくたって構わない　好きだって言わせてよ　
いつまでもここにいるんだ
Nee mienakutatte kamawanai suki datte iwasete yo
Itsumademo koko ni irunda
Hey, I don’t mind even if you can’t see me, let me tell you that I love you
I’ll always be right here

桜花　隣にいるのになあ
遥か　遠く遠く遠く　咲き乱れる
ボクは幸せだ　泣かないから
Ouka tonari ni iru noni naa
Haruka tooku tooku tooku sakimidareru
Boku wa shiawase da nakanai kara
Cherry blossoms, even though you’re right beside me
You blossom so bountifully far, far, far away
 I am in bliss, so I won’t cry

千の夜に閉ざされても
理に　叶わなくても
キミに届け
月夜ニ袖シグレ
Sen no yoru ni tozasaretemo
Kotowari ni kanawanakutemo
Kimi ni todoke
Tsukuyo ni sode shigure
Even if a thousand nights imprison me,
Even if logic won’t let this love come true
I’ll convey them to you
The tears wiped on my sleeve under the moonlit night


*Translator's Note: 
The title’s “Sodeshigure” literally means a quick-passing rain on sleeves, but is an expression used to refer to teardrops that have fallen on sleeves, as if they were raindrops in a passing storm.
